What is the future of traditional Chinese medicine?

Overview of Chinese medicine major: Students majoring in Chinese medicine mainly study the basic theory and knowledge of Chinese medicine, receive systematic basic training of Chinese medicine major, and have the basic abilities of Chinese medicine identification, Chinese medicine processing, Chinese medicine preparation and quality control evaluation. Cultivate senior scientific and technological talents who can engage in the identification, design, preparation and clinical rational application of traditional Chinese medicine in the fields of production, inspection, use and research and development of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is the product of thousands of years of traditional medical culture in China. Due to historical reasons, the employment field of this major is very extensive, involving medical treatment, production, pharmacy, circulation and other departments. First, the professional comprehensive introduction of traditional Chinese medicine is the floorboard of traditional Chinese medicine. Because it is mostly plant medicine, it is also called "materia medica". China is rich in traditional medical classics and documents, and Herbal Medicine of Tang Dynasty is the earliest national pharmacopoeia in the world. Compendium of Materia Medica contains 1892 drugs and 10000 prescriptions. The drugs and prescriptions recorded in these ancient books are still widely used, and the efficacy of many Chinese herbal medicines has also been confirmed by modern scientific research institutes. Compared with western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine relies more on summing up experience from clinical practice, so the research and development cycle of drugs is longer, and the verification of efficacy also takes longer test time. However, today, Chinese medicine has got rid of this single development model and started to study the pharmacology and characteristics of prescriptions by means of chemistry and biology, which has accelerated the verification and development process of Chinese medicine. In order to cultivate talents of Chinese medicine, the state has established Chinese medicine colleges in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Nanjing. Many contents of study and research are the summary and inheritance of predecessors' experience. Traditional Chinese medicine classics have a long duration, a large number and a complex system. Many of them are related to thousands of years of traditions in China, involving many classics such as literature, history, geography, animals and plants. Therefore, the learning process of this major will be longer; The biggest feature is that it needs a lot of memory. It is necessary to accurately remember the performance, efficacy and indications of various traditional Chinese medicines, as well as their action intensity, dosage and usage, toxicity and contraindications. In addition, it is necessary to combine the basics of traditional Chinese medicine with diagnostics. Because Chinese medicine attaches importance to revealing the overall law of human life activities, it is unified with Chinese medicine theory. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes clinical practice, and there will be a lot of practical training, so learning needs to be continuously improved in practice. The major of Chinese medicine is very promising. Western medicine has a quick curative effect, but chemical preparations have great side effects, while natural Chinese medicine is non-toxic and has no side effects, which makes people begin to understand Chinese medicine again. At present, in addition to Japan, Korea and Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries, some western countries have also begun to study and use Chinese medicine. In recent years, China has strengthened its investment in the research of traditional Chinese medicine, and the production of some Chinese herbal pieces and finished drugs has been industrialized. The appearance of Chinese patent medicine has overcome the shortcoming of troublesome administration of Chinese medicine and retained its excellent characteristics. 2 1 century, the Chinese medicine industry will become a new growth point of the national economy, and a large number of Chinese patent medicine pharmaceutical enterprises will develop and expand, and the employment choice of this major will be greater. In addition to engaging in TCM work in hospitals at all levels, teaching and scientific research in related schools and TCM clinical research institutions, you can also engage in scientific research, preparation, product development and sales in Chinese medicine pharmaceutical enterprises. Code of Chinese pharmacy: 100802. Second, develop professional education. As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years. It originated from the production and life practice of the working people in ancient China, developed in the continuous research and exploration of doctors in past dynasties, and perfected in absorbing the essence of traditional medicine of all ethnic groups. It is an out-and-out "national quintessence". From top to bottom, Chinese medicine has been integrated. Practitioners are familiar with pharmacology, medicinal properties and preparation methods, such as "Ma Fei San" made by Hua Tuo, and most of them are famous doctors, such as Li Shizhen who wrote Compendium of Materia Medica. The knowledge of Chinese pharmacy was also taught by teachers and apprentices, which was still the case in the early years of the Republic of China. With the popularization of modern western education model in China, pharmaceutical education in China has gradually entered the classroom from the folk. 19 10 years later, Chinese medicine schools or workshops were opened in various places, but they mainly taught Chinese medicine courses. By 1935, under the initiative of Beiping Pharmaceutical Society, Beiping Traditional Chinese Medicine Workshop, the first specialized Chinese medicine school with all the history to be tested, was established, with the first batch of 70 students enrolled for two years. Later, for example, New China Medical College and Beiping Medical College for Nationalities also set up Chinese medicine majors, and at the same time, they used Materia Medica Justice edited by Zhang and Pharmacology edited by Qin as teaching materials. Due to the suppression and destruction of Chinese medicine by the Kuomintang government, the development of Chinese medicine education is slow. According to the statistics of 1949, there are only 10 Chinese medicine majors in colleges and universities in China, and there is one college of Chinese medicine with 933 students. Since the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Party and the government, Chinese medicine education has developed rapidly. In the early 1950s, Chinese medicine workshops were held in Beijing and Shanghai. Since 1953, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Jilin and other places have taken the lead in setting up Chinese medicine schools or offering Chinese medicine majors in secondary health schools. 1958 the Ministry of health issued a notice on adding Chinese medicine courses in medical colleges. In the same year, Jiangnan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine established the specialty of traditional Chinese medicine. From 1959 to 1960, Chengdu, Beijing, Nanjing, Hunan and Yunnan Colleges of Traditional Chinese Medicine have successively added Chinese medicine majors. According to the statistics of 1965, the number of undergraduates majoring in traditional Chinese medicine has reached 1000. During 1995, there were 2 TCM colleges, 25 TCM departments and 43 TCM specialties. At present, there are 165 Chinese medicine majors in China, which have trained more than 9,000 undergraduate graduates and 1000 graduate students. The main courses offered by the undergraduate education of higher Chinese medicine include Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine, Chinese Pharmacy, Prescription, Medicinal Botany, Chemistry of Chinese Medicine, Identification of Chinese Medicine, Processing of Chinese Medicine, Pharmacy of Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology of Chinese Medicine. The academic system is four years. 1978 Postgraduate education begins after the postgraduate training system is restored. For example, Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine began to recruit graduate students, and the training direction was pharmacognosy and traditional Chinese medicine. By 1987, ten universities, including Shanghai College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, began to recruit graduate students majoring in Chinese medicine, and the professional training direction also increased pharmacology and chemistry of Chinese medicine. According to relevant statistics, from 1982 when Huang Chuanxiang, the first master of traditional Chinese medicine, graduated to 1998, there were 437 master graduates, 20% of whom went on to study for a doctorate. Due to the limitations of the use of traditional Chinese medicine and its preparations, European and American countries generally do not accept traditional Chinese medicine. In the United States, Germany and France, which have a high level of Chinese medicine education, only acupuncture and Chinese medicine are offered. Some countries in Southeast Asia, such as South Korea and Japan, are easy to accept Chinese medicine, so the professional education of Chinese medicine still has a certain scale, and Japan is the most typical one. Japan especially advocates "Chinese medicine" and regards the ancient prescriptions of Chinese medicine as classics. A lot of energy has been spent on the study of pharmacology, compatibility and usage of traditional Chinese medicine, and great achievements have been made, which requires a large number of professionals. Therefore, almost all Chinese medicine majors in major medical universities in Japan offer courses such as pharmacology, pharmaceutics and chemistry of traditional Chinese medicine. In the professional education of traditional Chinese medicine in Korea, the education direction is linked with scientific research and clinic, and the results in clinical compound research are outstanding. Due to the hot sale of traditional Chinese medicine in the international market, South Korea, as the main market share of traditional Chinese medicine, will further expand the scale of professional education of traditional Chinese medicine in order to make a breakthrough in medicinal material processing and drug manufacturing. Southeast Asian countries, because of long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine, also have certain development potential in the professional education of traditional Chinese medicine, especially Singapore and Malaysia, which are economically developed and advocate natural therapy, are increasingly interested in traditional Chinese medicine. In Europe, France and Germany have announced that Chinese medicine is mainly imported, and France also grows Chinese medicine itself. I believe that in the near future, there will also be Chinese medicine majors in Europe. With the further deepening of China's reform and opening up, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine will be familiar and accepted by more people in the increasingly frequent international exchanges. The Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China and the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Ministry of Health clearly put forward the slogan "Traditional Chinese Medicine goes global". As the main force of China's medicine export, traditional Chinese medicine products also shoulder the heavy responsibility of regaining the international market share occupied by Japan and South Korea. At present, a large number of ancient prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine need to be developed and utilized, the cultivation techniques of traditional Chinese medicine need to be further improved, and the types of Chinese patent medicines need to be further developed and improved. The pharmaceutical market will be unprecedentedly prosperous, and a large number of western medicines will flood in, while Chinese medicine products will face great challenges. In addition, the government's "western development" strategy will be a stimulant to the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine and the manufacture of traditional Chinese medicine raw materials. Based on the above situation at home and abroad, Chinese medicine professionals will be in short supply for a long time to come. It is reported that the employment rate of graduates majoring in Chinese medicine in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine has been as high as 98% since 1994, and with the continuous deepening and development of professional research, Chinese medicine colleges will further expand the enrollment of undergraduates and postgraduates, and plan to change undergraduate education into continuing undergraduate education. The academic system is five to six years. To sum up, because the Chinese medicine industry is in the ascendant, the professional education of Chinese medicine will be more perfect, the teaching staff will be further strengthened, and talents will become "hot items" in the market.
